With the normalization of advanced technology and devices that can record and take photos, Christmas has become… well, complicated. In the past, Santa could just slide down the chimney without any worries of being exposed to the world. Infiltrate the house, deliver the presents, eat the milk and cookies, and that was it. Even if Santa was caught by a curious child, the kid couldn’t do anything about it. Nowadays, the little brats just want to snap a picture and upload it to social media. Because of this, Santa needed to get a little crafty to keep his secrecy alive.
In the workshop, Santa and his elves brainstormed something that would allow him to continue doing his job on Christmas without worrying about blowing his cover. Within a couple of months at the North Pole, the new ‘Secret Santa’ device was created by a group of ingenious elves.
The Secret Santa device is essentially a machine installed into the sleigh that allows Santa to put on a disguise that will protect him from being discovered. The device will scan the house Santa is targeting and find a person who is sleeping for Santa to become. The device projects the person’s image onto Santa’s body and allows him to roam around the house disguised as the person. With the new machinery in place, all that was left was to test it on the big night.
It is now Christmas Eve, and Santa is coming up on his first house in the United States. Santa landed quietly on the roof of the house and activated his new gadgetry. The Secret Santa scanned the house and within a matter of seconds, the device found a kid for Santa to disguise himself as. Santa confirmed and a laser began to scan his body up and down. Santa looked down at his large body and noticed it was shrinking. Before long, his jolly red suit disappeared to reveal a cute teenage boy body wearing a hoodie, pants, and sneakers.
“Whoa, it really works! Goddamn those elves are geniuses!” He said aloud in the teenage boy’s voice.
Santa felt his new skinny torso and groped his bubble butt. His white beard and chubby face was replaced by a clean shaven one. Before he got too carried away, he remembered his mission. He had millions upon millions of houses to visit and exploring a body that didn’t belong to him wasn’t helping with that massive workload.
Santa grabbed the presents and put them over his shoulder. He climbed ontop of the chimney with ease thanks to his new body. Santa ensured the fire was out and slid down. Santa landed gracefully at the bottom of the fireplace and set foot inside of the living room. He saw the Christmas tree on the other side and began to place all the presents down.
When Santa finished placing the presents he smiled. He always did love the first house he visited on Christmas night. There was always something special about it.
Santa was about to leave back through the chimney when he saw the cookies and milk on the rocking chair. Santa didn’t want to waste the opportunity so he picked up the tray and sat down on the rocking chair for a quick break.
As he finished the cookies and sipped the milk, he saw a mirror across his view. Santa looked at his new reflection and couldn’t help but smile.
